The Council of Tenerife announces the hiring of the drafting of the execution project for the improvement of the coastal edge of the urban center of The Pris and Mesa del Mar, a performance in which 180,273 euros will be invested. This investment was approved yesterday by the Insular Government Council, at the proposal of the Insular Directorate of Tourismwhich has established a period of nine months for project deliveryonce the contract has been awarded.
The island president Pedro Martin (PSOE)points out that “once drafted, the project will lead to an important action on the coast of the municipality of Tacoronte, which will mean a great change, will facilitate public access to the sea and will significantly improve the infrastructure and facilities in the area”.
The investment in the execution of the remodeling project could be around five million euros, according to the first technical estimates. Peter Martin explains that, “in general terms, the project will contemplate the conditioning of the entire coastal path that connects the nucleus of Mesa del Mar with El Pris. It is a long-awaited intervention in the municipality, in a coastal area of the island that has a large influx of residents and visitors throughout the year and especially in summer, and whose tourist attraction is unquestionable, so these improvements projected will have a very positive impact”.
The Island Director of Tourism, Laura Castrorecalls that “through the Tenerife y el Mar project, the Cabildo is carrying out important improvements throughout the island’s coastline, with unique actions that have completely turned around coastal areas which, after the intervention, have notably increased their attractiveness and the influx of people who can enjoy them in the best conditions of use”.
Among other actions included in this project, the island director highlights the execution of trails, the accessibility improvementenvironmental recovery in the area or the provision of new street furniture.
Satisfaction in the Tacorontero Government
The Councilor for Urban Planning and Finance of Tacoronte, Tarsis Morales (PSOE), celebrates that «finally, after so many years, the coastal project is resumed. When the PSOE of Tacoronte entered the municipal government, we placed the recovery of the coast as a strategic axis and as a vital project for our municipality. That is what we have focused a good part of our efforts on.” He adds that “after meetings with the Cabildo, Costas and the Government of the Canary Islands, in which we have always requested an effective commitment to this project, the Cabildo endorses our demands and this project, which is already contemplated in the Cooperation Plan, that dismantles the false statement that the Cabildo does not make the necessary investments in Tacoronte.
